(Original description in Latin) The shell has a conoid-depressed shape and is rather thin, showing serial hairs. It is reddish with a blackish covering. The spire is short and conical. There are 5 moderately convex whorls, with the body whorl rounded at the periphery and a shiny, broad, somewhat circumscribed callus at the base. The aperture is nearly diagonal and semi-oval. The columella is somewhat compressed, ending forward in a small denticle. The peristome is scarcely expanded, with the basal margin very slightly arched, forming a small sinus with the columellar tooth. The operculum is thin and pearly.{{cite journal |last1=Pfeiffer |first1=L. |title=Pfeiffer |journal=Malakozoologische Blätter|date=1859 |volume=6 |issue=3 |pages=66–96 |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/16014164 |access-date=3 August 2024}} {{source-attribution}}
